The other portion of the second sub-pixels SP2 and the other portion of the third sub-pixels SP3 are arranged along the first direction D1 and form a plurality of third sub-pixel columns PC3, and the second sub-pixels SP2 and the third sub-pixels SP3 of the third sub-pixel column PC3 are repeatedly arranged in a sequence of the third sub-pixel SP3 and the second sub-pixel SP2 in the first direction D1. In addition, the first sub-pixel columns PC1, the second sub-pixel columns PC2, the third sub-pixel columns PC 3 and the fourth sub-pixel columns PC4 are repeatedly arranged in a sequence of the second sub-pixel column PC2, the first sub-pixel column PC1, the third sub-pixel column PC3 and the fourth sub-pixel column PC 4 in the second direction D2. Specifically, in the second direction D2, the 4n−3^(th) sub-pixel columns are the second sub-pixel columns PC2, the 4n−2^(th) sub-pixel columns are the first sub-pixel columns PC1, the 4n−1^(th) sub-pixel columns are the third sub-pixel column PC3 and the 4n^(th) sub-pixel columns are the fourth sub-pixel columns PC4, where n is integers greater than 1.

In other words, in the second direction D2, the first sub-pixel SP1 of the first sub-pixel column PC1 partially overlaps the first sub-pixel SP1 and the fourth sub-pixel SP4 of the fourth sub-pixel column PC4, and the fourth sub-pixel SP4 of the first sub-pixel column PC1 partially overlaps the first sub-pixel SP1 and the fourth sub-pixel SP4 of the fourth sub-pixel column PC4.

In this embodiment, a sum of two second lengths L2 is substantially equal to a sum of three first lengths L1, each of the second sub-pixel SP2 of the second sub-pixel column PC2 entirely overlaps one of the third sub-pixels SP3 of the third sub-pixel column PC3 in the second direction D2, each of the third sub-pixel SP3 of the second sub-pixel column PC2 entirely overlaps one of the second sub-pixels SP2 of the third sub-pixel column PC3 in the second direction D2. In addition, two of the first sub-pixels SP1 and one of fourth sub-pixels SP4 of the first sub-pixel column PC1 entirely overlap one of the second sub-pixels SP2 and one of the third sub-pixels SP3 of the second sub-pixel column PC2 in the second direction D2, the first sub-pixel SP1 of the fourth sub-pixel column PC4 does not entirely overlap the first sub-pixel SP1 and the fourth sub-pixel SP4 of the first sub-pixel column PC1, the second sub-pixel SP2 and the third sub-pixel SP3 of the second sub-pixel column PC2 and the second sub-pixel SP2 and the third sub-pixel SP3 of the third sub-pixel column PC3 in the second direction D2.

In this embodiment, each of the first sub-pixels SP1, the second sub-pixels SP2, the third sub-pixels SP3 and the fourth sub-pixels SP4 is a rectangular sub-pixel, where the first length L1 is a distance between two opposite sides of the first sub-pixel SP1 in the first direction D1, the second length L2 is a distance between two opposite sides of the second sub-pixel SP2 in the first direction D1, the third length L3 is a distance between two opposite sides of the third sub-pixel SP3 in the first direction D1, and the fourth length L4 is a distance between two opposite sides of the fourth sub-pixel SP4 in the first direction D1.

Refer to FIG. 10. FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram illustrating a pixel arrangement of color display panel according to an alternative embodiment of the seventh embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 10, the relative position of the first sub-pixel SP1, the second sub-pixel SP2, the third sub-pixel SP3 and the fourth sub-pixel SP4 in the pixel arrangement 7′ of color display panel in this alternative embodiment is similar to that of the seventh embodiment. In this alternative embodiment, each of the first sub-pixels SP1 is a triangular sub-pixel (e.g. an isosceles triangular sub-pixel), and two first sub-pixels SP1 adjacent in the first direction D1 form a rhombus. Each of the second sub-pixels SP2, the third sub-pixels SP3 and the fourth sub-pixels SP4 is a rhombus sub-pixel. The first length L1 is a distance between a vertex and an opposite side of the first sub-pixel SP1 in the first direction D1, the second length L2 is a distance between two opposite vertices of the second sub-pixel SP2 in the first direction D1, the third length L3 is a distance between two opposite vertices of the third sub-pixel SP3 in the first direction D1, and the fourth length L4 is a distance between two opposite vertices of the fourth sub-pixel SP4 in the first direction D1.

The pixel arrangement of color display panel of the present invention is able to support pixel rendering and/or white sharing display. Pixel rendering (also referred to as sub-pixel rendering, SPR) is a mechanism in which a plurality of adjacent pixel units can share the same second sub-pixel and/or the same third sub-pixel; white sharing is a mechanism in which a plurality of adjacent pixel units can share the same white sub-pixel. Accordingly, the pixel arrangement of color display panel of the present invention includes four types of sub-pixels for providing different color lights including the first sub-pixels, the second sub-pixels, the third sub-pixels and the white sub-pixels, but the resolution is not reduced.

Refer to FIG. 11. FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram illustrating nine adjacent pixel units of the pixel arrangement of color display panel of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 11, the pixel arrangement of color display panel of the present invention includes nine adjacent pixel units P1-P9 arranged as a 3*3 array. When displaying, the color display panel will receive an original image data, which includes nine groups of image data, and each group of data includes a green light grayscale value, a red light grayscale value, a blue light grayscale value and a white light grayscale value.

The number and shape of the sub-pixels of the pixel units P1-P9 may be different in the pixel arrangement of color display panel of different embodiments. In the following description, two adjacent pixel units of the pixel arrangement of color display panel of the first embodiment is selected as an example to illustrate pixel rendering and white sharing. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 11, the pixel arrangement 1 of color display panel includes a plurality of pixel units, where each of the pixel units P1-P9 is composed of one second sub-pixel SP2 and/or one third sub-pixel SP3 disposed adjacent to each other of the second sub-pixel column PC2 (or one second sub-pixels SP2 and/or one third sub-pixel SP3 disposed adjacent to each other of the third sub-pixel column PC3), one first sub-pixel SP1 of the first sub-pixel column PC1 and one white sub-pixel SPW of the white sub-pixel column WC.

The pixel unit P5 and the pixel unit P6 are two adjacent pixel units in the second direction D2. The pixel unit P5 and the pixel unit P6 share the same second sub-pixel SP2 and the same third sub-pixel SP3, and thus the common second sub-pixel SP2 and/or the common third sub-pixel SP3 may perform pixel rendering. When the pixel unit P5 is composed of the third sub-pixel SP3 of the second sub-pixel column PC2, the first sub-pixel SP1 of the first sub-pixel column PC1 and the white sub-pixel SPW of the white sub-pixel column WC, and when the pixel unit P6 is composed of the second sub-pixel SP2 of the second sub-pixel PC2, the first sub-pixel SP1 of the first sub-pixel column PC1 and the white sub-pixel SPW of the white sub-pixel column WC, the actually-displayed red light grayscale value of the second sub-pixel SP2 of the pixel unit P6 is determined by both the red light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 and the red light grayscale value of the pixel unit P6. For example, the actually-displayed red light grayscale value of the second sub-pixel SP2 of the pixel unit P6 may be the mean value or the minimum value of the red light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 and the red light grayscale value of the pixel unit P6, or any value calculated by different algorithms that can significantly reflect the red light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 and the red light grayscale value of the pixel unit P6. Similarly, when the pixel unit P5 is composed of the second sub-pixel SP2 of the second sub-pixel column PC2, the first sub-pixel SP1 of the first sub-pixel column PC1 and the white sub-pixel SPW of the white sub-pixel column WC, and when the pixel unit P6 is composed of the third sub-pixel SP3 of the second sub-pixel PC2, the first sub-pixel SP1 of the first sub-pixel column PC1 and the white sub-pixel SPW of the white sub-pixel column WC, the actually-displayed blue light grayscale value of the third sub-pixel SP3 of the pixel unit P6 is determined by both the blue light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 and the blue light grayscale value of the pixel unit P6. For example, the actually-displayed blue light grayscale value of the third sub-pixel SP3 of the pixel unit P6 may be the mean value or the minimum value of the blue light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 and the blue light grayscale value of the pixel unit P6, or any value calculated by different algorithms that can significantly reflect the blue light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 and the blue light grayscale value of the pixel unit P6.

In addition, the pixel unit P5 and the pixel unit P8 are two adjacent pixel units in the first direction D1. If the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 is not zero and the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P8 is not zero, white sharing can be performed. Meanwhile, the actually-displayed white light grayscale value of the white sub-pixel SPW shared by the pixel unit P5 and the pixel unit P8 may be the mean value or the minimum value of the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 and the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P8, or any value calculated by different algorithms that can significantly reflect the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 and the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P8. If one of the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 and the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P8 is zero, white sharing is not performed. For example, if the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 is zero and the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P8 is not zero, the actually-displayed white light grayscale value of the white sub-pixel SPW shared by the pixel unit P5 and the pixel unit P8 is zero, i.e. both the pixel unit P5 and the pixel unit P8 provide red light, green light and blue light without white light. In such a case, pixel rendering can still be performed on the second sub-pixel SP2 and/or the third sub-pixel SP3. Similarly, if the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 is not zero and the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P8 is zero, the actually-displayed white light grayscale value of the white sub-pixel SPW shared by the pixel unit P5 and the pixel unit P8 is zero, i.e. both the pixel unit P5 and the pixel unit P8 provide red light, green light and blue light without white light. In such a case, pixel rendering can still be performed on the second sub-pixel SP2 and/or the third sub-pixel SP3.

In the following description, two adjacent pixel units of the pixel arrangement 6′ of color display panel of the sixth embodiment are selected as another example to illustrate pixel rendering and white sharing. As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 11, the pixel arrangement 6′ of color display panel includes a plurality of pixel units, where each of the pixel units P1-P9 is composed of one first sub-pixel SP1, one second sub-pixel SP2 and/or one third sub-pixel SP3 disposed adjacent to each other of the first sub-pixel column PC1 (or one first sub-pixel SP1, one second sub-pixel SP2 and/or one third sub-pixel SP3 disposed adjacent to each other of the second sub-pixel column PC2), and one white sub-pixel SPW of the white sub-pixel column WC.

The pixel unit P5 and the pixel unit P8 are two adjacent pixel units in the first direction D1. The pixel unit P5 and the pixel unit P8 share the same second sub-pixel SP2 and the same third sub-pixel SP3, and thus the common second sub-pixel SP2 and/or the common third sub-pixel SP3 may perform pixel rendering. When the pixel unit P5 is composed of the third sub-pixel SP3 and the first sub-pixel SP1 of the first sub-pixel column PC1 and the white sub-pixel SPW of the white sub-pixel column WC, and when the pixel unit P8 is composed of the second sub-pixel SP2 and the first sub-pixel SP1 of the first sub-pixel column PC1 and the white sub-pixel SPW of the white sub-pixel column WC, the actually-displayed red light grayscale value of the second sub-pixel SP2 of the pixel unit P8 is determined by both the red light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 and the red light grayscale value of the pixel unit P8. For example, the actually-displayed red light grayscale value of the second sub-pixel SP2 of the pixel unit P8 may be the mean value or the minimum value of the red light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 and the red light grayscale value of the pixel unit P8, or any value calculated by different algorithms that can significantly reflect the red light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 and the red light grayscale value of the pixel unit P8. Similarly, when the pixel unit P5 is composed of the second sub-pixel SP2 and the first sub-pixel SP1 of the first sub-pixel column PC1 and the white sub-pixel SPW of the white sub-pixel column WC, and when the pixel unit P8 is composed of the third sub-pixel SP3 and the first sub-pixel SP1 of the first sub-pixel column PC1 and the white sub-pixel SPW of the white sub-pixel column WC, the actually-displayed blue light grayscale value of the third sub-pixel SP3 of the pixel unit P8 is determined by both the blue light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 and the blue light grayscale value of the pixel unit P8. For example, the actually-displayed blue light grayscale value of the third sub-pixel SP3 of the pixel unit P8 may be the mean value or the minimum value of the blue light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 and the blue light grayscale value of the pixel unit P8, or any value calculated by different algorithms that can significantly reflect the blue light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 and the blue light grayscale value of the pixel unit P8.

In addition, the pixel unit P5 and the pixel unit P6 are two adjacent pixel units in the second direction D2. If the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 is not zero and the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P6 is not zero, white sharing can be performed. Meanwhile, the actually-displayed white light grayscale value of the white sub-pixel SPW shared by the pixel unit P5 and the pixel unit P6 may be the mean value or the minimum value of the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 and the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P6, or any value calculated by different algorithms that can significantly reflect the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 and the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P6. If one of the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 and the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P6 is zero, white sharing is not performed. For example, if the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 is zero and the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P6 is not zero, the actually-displayed white light grayscale value of the white sub-pixel SPW shared by the pixel unit P5 and the pixel unit P6 is zero, i.e. both the pixel unit P5 and the pixel unit P6 provide red light, green light and blue light without white light. In such a case, pixel rendering can still be performed on the second sub-pixel SP2 and/or the third sub-pixel SP3. Similarly, if the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P5 is not zero and the white light grayscale value of the pixel unit P6 is zero, the actually-displayed white light grayscale value of the white sub-pixel SPW shared by the pixel unit P5 and the pixel unit P6 is zero, i.e. both the pixel unit P5 and the pixel unit P6 provide red light, green light and blue light without white light. In such a case, pixel rendering can still be performed on the second sub-pixel SP2 and/or the third sub-pixel SP3

In the aforementioned embodiments, pixel rendering and white sharing mechanisms are illustrated in two adjacent pixel unit P5 and pixel unit P6 or pixel unit P5 and pixel unit P8. In the pixel arrangement of color display panel of all the embodiments, pixel rendering and/or white sharing can be performed on any one pixel unit and at least another one pixel unit adjacently disposed. Also, the definition (composition) of the pixel unit may be modified based on different algorithms in different embodiments.

The pixel arrangement of color display panel of the present invention can be applied to various types of color display panel. The color display panel may be a non-self-luminous display panel or self-luminous display panel, where the non-self-luminous display panel may include a liquid crystal display panel, an electrophoretic display panel, an electrowetting display panel and other suitable non-self-luminous display panels; the self-luminous display panel may include an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel, a plasma display panel, a field emission display panel or other self-luminous display panels.

In conclusion, the pixel arrangement of color display panel of the present invention includes green sub-pixels, red sub-pixels, blue sub-pixels and white sub-pixels, and adjacent pixel units shares at least one sub-pixel. Consequently, the brightness can be increased through white sub-pixels without sacrificing resolution. In addition, the pixel arrangement of color display panel of the present invention is able to support pixel rendering and/or white sharing mechanisms.
